PSP2 development kits have reportedly been widely distributed to first and third party studios, with Sony said to be keen to offer a “significant launch window line-up” for the as-yet-unannounced handheld.
That’s according to multiple Develop sources, who claim the platform holder is intent on making a big software impact at launch.
While Sony has yet to officially announce PSP2, one developer went on the record about the handheld last month.
“… We have a PSP2 in the house and we’re looking at the engine, like what can it support,” Shaun Himmerick, executive producer at Netherrealm Studios, said during an interview about the Mortal Kombat franchise reboot. “Always a big thing for us is the performance… PSP2 looks like it’s a pretty powerful machine.”
